general

[snow depot]

Really>!

[steady pewter]

Just as a small LLM project though.

it's not that hard.

[sudden pond]

cool

[steady pewter]

You just need a lightweight, somewhat reasonably intelligent LLM such as llama-4b, and implement it.

[snow depot]

I know its not super hard but i go into like full ADHD mode with my code and want to make it perfect and self learning so its not just copy paste answers and stuff lol

I need to shrink down my model and just see what happens

[steady pewter]

that's a little bit harder. What are you using? Torch or tensorflow?

I can probably help.

[snow depot]

Tensor for the larger models

been looking at pytorch tho

[steady pewter]

I've been working on new neurons, like a new activation function that uses quantum computing to use superposition as a way for the neurons to interact with eachother, simulating somewhat fluid neuron structure.

[snow depot]

dude thats sick!

Ive been looking at some of the "consumer" grade quantum computers for my company lol

[steady pewter]

Honestly, you can just simulate the quantum computing part, but for me, I am trying to figure out a way to make the quantum computer NOT require -10000 F, so I am trying to figure out a way to make it work at room temps, I think it would be best to use a conductive molecule, but have nanotails that keep them from sticking together, making a 1 electron gap, which is required for quantum computing.

yes, I go ADHD mode as well.

[snow depot]

glad i am not the only super nerd XD

I'm getting this error in Kali Linux when connecting to OpenVPN provided by Tryhackme I've been trying for a long time but I can't get it to work, can someone please help me?

[steady pewter]

I mean, I made a working model that is basically gpt-2 but for torch, adapted from tensorflow. I believe I can use my principles of "neuroplasticity" to make the model learn much more, because a single qubit can carry at most 10 states at the SAME time. Meanwhile, classical bits can only carry 2 states at DIFFERENT times.

[snow depot]

uhhhhhhh try opening the .ovpn file in the text editor and look for the line that says cipher BF-CBC and change it to cipher AES-256-CBC

see if that works

[blazing granite]

ask in #site-support

[snow depot]

also try just updating openvpn lol

[languid locust]

The same thing happens when I change to CBC, I tried 3 encryptions

[languid locust]

OK

[snow depot]

thats still really dope

[steady pewter]

yeah, I've been working on a few projects on github.

although they are private.

a single electron wide gap is the thing needed for quantum computing. the structure needed to do this needs to be a molecule that can somehow latch together without having conductive connectors while being conductive themselves. Modern day quantum computers work on the foundation that they simply cool down the qubits, while positioning the molecules in a way that allows for quantum computing. These qubits will eventually go out of alignment and the chip will expire, just like food.

The chip becomes unreliable and inefficient, meanwhile in neurons (living ones,) the structure of the neuron allows for quantum computing at room temperatures. However, they do still expire, but not because of misalignment, instead they expire from lack of nutrients, and decomposition.

[steady pewter]

Hang on, I'm processing the information given.

[languid locust]

I have problems with AES-256-CBC when connecting,I have used --data-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-256-CBC and a separate CBC

I've tried looking on youtube, and what I've tried that they offer doesn't fix the problem.

[steady pewter]

It kind of looks like a problem originating from outdated binaries, but I am not yet sure.

[rapid merlin]

Yes, pretty colour but I like the green

[languid locust]

Is it because I'm in China that all the adjustments need to be made?

[slender scaffold]

I like 0x1 color tbh

[steady pewter]

The latest version is 2.6.12, but yours is >= 2.5

[languid locust]

I downloaded ovpn through tryhackme, and I can't solve the problem.

[sudden pond]

wait, no it's IS the current version.

this is interesting.

[sudden pond]

yesss

[steady pewter]

Perhaps you should try regenerating the ovpn file, and additionally make sure it is the server closest to your location?

[rapid merlin]

What is that one 🤔

[sudden pond]

he did

[steady pewter]

oh he did?

so it said "AES-256-CBC is not supported by OVPN-DCO"

This is a little tricky.

[slender scaffold]

DCO version N/A why?

[steady pewter]

yeah.

that's my question

[neon merlin]

I think this windows recall thing might be what makes me a full time Linux enjoyer

[languid locust]

yes

[quick violet]

#site-support but I think openvpn is blocked in China so it likely won't work

[steady pewter]

but why is ovpn-dco version N/A?

[slender scaffold]

I was wondering this too :/

[neon merlin]

Xiaolong do you live in China?

[steady pewter]

I'm going to check this. and yes Xiaolong lives in china

[languid locust]

I was able to connect in September, but I haven't been able to connect since.

[neon merlin]

Thm's openVPN will not work in China because there's no obsufication

[quick violet]

That's a shame, but if it is actually blocked then there isn't much we can do - I'd use the attackbox if I was you

[neon merlin]

It's very obviously a VPN so gets blocked

[steady pewter]

yeah, perhaps TryHackMe's VPN was added to the blacklisted ips.

[sudden pond]

attackbox sucks

[neon merlin]

VPNs that work in China have to take steps to not look like a VPN

[quick violet]

It may not be as good as your own machine, but if its all you got then it is what it is I guess - nice that's its an option at least

[languid locust]

Because it is inconvenient, when connecting to vpn at the same time, it will always be interrupted and reconnected, resulting in too much latency is not convenient to use.

[sudden pond]

yes the last option

[steady pewter]

obfuscation is hard when there is deep packet analysis happening on the scale of a literal country.

[quick violet]

Fair enough

[neon merlin]

@languid locust I recommend you use attack box. It seems your PC is windows. Which you're not going to be able to use for THM anyway cause all the tools are Linux based. So you can connect to the Linux attack box through windows and use that. That does not require a VPN oddly enough. If you turn off all your VPNs you can connect to the attack box and the latency isn't that bad. But you'll lose access to discord at the same time.

What's funny is you can use the attack box browser to access sites not available in China

[steady pewter]

well that is cool. They added internet access or was that always there?

[languid locust]

I use VM virtualized Kali Linux using connection openvpn

[neon merlin]

Subscribers have internet access

[steady pewter]

ah.

[neon merlin]

I think it would be as easy as making a TCP openvpn. Hack the boxes TCP OpenVPN works in China. But not UDP.

[steady pewter]

why does only TCP work?

[neon merlin]

But other VPNs that can be accessed in China do use some pretty advanced obfuscation.

[neon merlin]

I don't know enough about the internet to comment. I dunno why, it just does. TCP works but UDP doesn't.

[steady pewter]

maybe the 3 way handshake confuses the firewall?

[neon merlin]

Like there's systems that go over to Amazon.com, take their certificate and then it just looks like your traffic is going to Amazon even if you deep packet inspect

[steady pewter]

that makes more sense.

I wonder if TOR works in china?

probably not to be honest.

[neon merlin]

It works, it's illegal to use

Just connecting to it is illegal

And they can obviously see who is using it very easy because all Tor nodes are pubic

Unless you use a bridge

[steady pewter]

that sucks...

[languid locust]

It is illegal to set up a VPN in China, and you are not allowed to do so unless you are required to do so.

[neon merlin]

Even the good VPNs go down often though. But the VPNs spin up new instances. It's like cat and mouse

Depends how good your vpn service is

[languid locust]

However, since everything in China is paid for, there may be certain things that exist on their own with Youtube, but when they arrive in China they will be programmed with paid content.

[neon merlin]

Common VPNs like Nord often don't work either

[languid locust]

yes

[neon merlin]

The VPN service needs to specialize in China

[still hare]

Nord seems to be messing up a lot lately tbh usually used them cause I had a cheap deal ages ago but they seem a lot more inconsistent now

[neon merlin]

I think really the only way for people in China to use THM reliably is subscribe so you can deploy attack box as much as you like, and use it.

[steady pewter]

I wonder if any discord server started with only like 3 people and became a whole community? (THM should really make a /dev/null channel)

[neon merlin]

Every discord gotta start from 1 member

[steady pewter]

well yeah.

I meant as in like without any funding, without any recognition, without any website or anything to pretext the development of the server.

haha, my server doesn't even show up in the discover servers page (when explicitly searched).

[neon merlin]

Also an interesting thing, even if your connection is tunneled and all traffic goes via the tunnel in China and you open up the openvpn connection within the tunnel, it still won't connect. 🤔

[steady pewter]

huh. I wonder why?

[neon merlin]

Beats me, no one should be able to see what's in the tunnel

[steady pewter]

unless it's a form of deep-package-inspection.

I honestly don't know at this point.

[neon merlin]

If they could see an attempt at an openvpn connection, shouldn't they see you're visiting YouTube for example?

[steady pewter]

probably not. Though it does show high understanding of what a VPN looks like.

[neon merlin]

Perhaps in the future, if there's enough demand, THM can register to be approved in China. VPNs aren't blocked, unregistered ones are. Many Chinese companies use VPNs to connect to corporate networks or for marketing on YouTube

[steady pewter]

yeah. it would be helpful if THM did that.

[neon merlin]

Their base website isn't actually blocked, just the VPN aspect

[steady pewter]

I did gather that much.

[sick lance]

Wat?

You know you can hack on Windows, right?

[steady pewter]

I know, that was my first platform.

[pearl raven]

This conversation...

[neon merlin]

Yeah but most of the stuff on thm is aimed at Linux users

[pearl raven]

no?

[sick lance]

Do you use the browser this way? on the attackbox

[steady pewter]

I just moved to linux because of window's constant updates.

[neon merlin]

Well the sudo apt install commands it tells you to use ain't gonna work on windows

[steady pewter]

you need to download the tools on their actual website, or alternatively DSL.

[sick lance]

Would it though?

[steady pewter]

it was sarcasm.

they forgot to do "/s"

[sick lance]

Please allow the user to speak, don't do it for them.

[steady pewter]

oh okay.

see yall later.

[sick lance]

Anyway, my question got ignored...

[pearl raven]

Scrubz it's almost 1 am my time (0100) dafuq? you get up at 5 (UK)

[tepid furnace]

he's gotta wakeup early to workout

[pearl raven]

Gotta respect that.

[kind crescent]

Is there any mod with whom I can talk in private?

[sick lance]

My cats decided to

A) check I was alive
B) tell me they hungry

[sick lance]

About?

[pearl raven]

Yikes

[pearl raven]

Face baps?

[pearl raven]

lmfao

[sick lance]

More like sniffing, she's just a kitten

[pearl raven]

Ah, that's not so terrible.

[sick lance]

What sort of bug?

[kind crescent]

Can I send you a message?

[pearl raven]

I have two GSD's they tend to just make me get up 😦

[sick lance]

Mods aren't site staff, do it would be useless

So

[tepid furnace]

all day every day just alt between upper and lower

do not skip leg day ever

eat 70 eggs

[pearl raven]

Let's be honest, 90% skip leg day.

[tepid furnace]

40 lbs of shrimp

[pearl raven]

lol okay.

I see.

[tepid furnace]

im out here only doing leg day

genuinely

im fixing a muscle imbalance

[pearl raven]

Have at it 🙂

[tepid furnace]

yur

when I did xc I reinforced a really bad habit and became quad reliant for running/walking

[kind crescent]

I don't know if anyone has discovered the bug, but you save a lot of money with this

[tepid furnace]

so now im working on returning it back to glute reliant for walking/running since that's how it's supposed to be

• it'll help me with potential back issues later in life

[pearl raven]

Just lift back 😛

[tepid furnace]

yep yep 150lb back deadlift

no using your legs at all

[pearl raven]

my spine is essentially a solid mass 😛

[tepid furnace]

I cant really do that

im quite skinny as is

im built like a runner

[sick lance]

Since you're not avoiding this question, I'm going to assume you are.

Using the THM machines for anything other than they're created for is against ToS.

This involves browsing with the attackbox, they are monitored.

[pearl raven]

I was waiting for this.

[sick lance]

#site-bugs please.

[pearl raven]

Get em!

Not the bug guy, btw.

[kind crescent]

If I leave it there, they will possibly take advantage of it

[neon merlin]

Why put browsing on them if you can't browse on them? They are useful for getting stuff off GitHub needed for doing rooms

[tepid furnace]

that would be an intended purpose

[sick lance]

That's a valid purpose.

[neon merlin]

So that's what I'm talking about

[tepid furnace]

an non intended purpose would be using them for personal web browsing

it's a scope thing

kinda like when a school gives you a computer

[sick lance]

That was not clear from the message and context 😉

[neon merlin]

Or getting on crackstation

[tepid furnace]

that's actually a really good way to explain scope to someone now that I think about it

[pearl raven]

lol

[neon merlin]

These websites can be flaky in China

Sometimes they are blocked but not always

[sick lance]

Maybe not the best example for here

[pearl raven]

Fair

sorry.

I wasn't wrong though, I do understand that it was not appropriate for this server.

[sick lance]

Uh ...

Yes it is?

[tepid furnace]

well

if you had a net made up of your own computers it wouldnt really be illegal?

like if you're using it for shared computing

but for 95% of use cases it's illegal

[pearl raven]

As long as you legitimately own all of it, sure.

[tepid furnace]

since yknow 99% of the time it involves fraudulent access

[neon merlin]

And then what legitimate use would you use your totally legit botnet for?

[tepid furnace]

like I said

shared computing

or ethical research purposes

like attackign your own server etc

and then seeing what it looks like from a blue team perspective

as long as you own 100% of everything attacked and used though

[steady pewter]

I am back online.

[pearl raven]

Damn, I'm self deleting that...

[steady pewter]

what chaos happened while I was out? I'll just read.

[pearl raven]

https://tenor.com/view/miles-bron-edward-norton-make-face-funny-point-gif-27292090

[steady pewter]

oh, I see..that is kind of..oh. I got the question, ignored?

[steady pewter]

is he stealing the mona lisa?

[pearl raven]

Nickolas Cage is not involved

[steady pewter]

lol

[pearl raven]

Zumi I'm stealing that...

[steady pewter]

is it safe to post random memes here?

[pearl raven]

Within reason. It is a place of business for some, and an Educational Discord channel.

[steady pewter]

ah, I see.

[pearl raven]

General chat is a little more flexible, the channels are quite specific.

[steady pewter]

okay, hang on, let me get to a charger for my laptop.

[pearl raven]

Any content against the discord TOS, or that breaks the law is not permitted. #IAMNOTAMOD

Scrubz or the rest of the moderator team can expound more.

[steady pewter]

Yep. I would assume that.

[neon merlin]

Which countries laws though?

[steady pewter]

probably ALL

[pearl raven]

lulz.

[neon merlin]

Then I can't say anything about Kim jong il

[steady pewter]

anyways, I just like to see the rules before doing or saying anything, just to be safe.

don't want to be banned from another server.

especially one I actually fit in.

[neon merlin]

It's an interesting question, discord TOS says don't break the law on discord but who's laws?

Posting an LGBT flag would be illegal in Iran

[steady pewter]

I think it refers to general and local laws.

like common sense, and then specific laws you would probably have in your area/country as well.

[blazing granite]

#rules

[steady pewter]

I've read it.

[blazing granite]

I thought you were asking for the rules 😂

[steady pewter]

haha, no worries.

[neon current]

Does anyone here think it will be worth it to wait for the tryhackme black friday sale? Or would ot make sense just to sign up for the annual subscription now?

[blazing granite]

I never worry 😉 🙂

[steady pewter]

small question, I was at rank wizard (or so I think), but I was moved down a rank, does this happen due to inactivity or what happened?

[neon merlin]

These are better rules because they define UK and Californian laws as the ones not to break

[steady pewter]

that's reasonable.

[blazing granite]

I've never heard of wizard level

[steady pewter]

did I wake up in an alternate universe?!

[blazing granite]

those are this server discord

[steady pewter]

I very vividly remember I was at rank wizard, which comes before omni!

[blazing granite]

You have to figured that one out this always being my universe no alternative 😂

[neon merlin]

Yeah these are better than discord TOS. Because discord TOS just says "don't do illegal things" without defining that.

[steady pewter]

It could be possible. I would just have to travel faster than light somehow.

[blazing granite]

I could be wrong better check with mod or send an email to [e-mail]

[steady pewter]

no, wizard does exist, but why is it after omni?

[narrow bone]

Don’t miss on Dragon Ball Daima 🐉 second episode is out

His just repeating what I said almost straight after it lol, also hi 👋👋 how was your sleep

[neon merlin]

Got a science festival coming up soon, been asked to do a display table of something techie for the students. Wonder if I can figure out how to do a hacking table for primary school aged kids. 🤔

[rapid merlin]

TryHackMe's explanation of encryption is so easy

like I finally fully understand how symetric algorithm wokrs

and for free is insane

Thank you so much TryHackMe team

[still hare]

My advice is to gamify it

[rapid merlin]

Maybe try showing the log4j hack on a minecraft server?

[neon merlin]

Maybe I can just have a laptop running scratch they could try and play with

[rapid merlin]

that would bring about some attention

[still hare]

Might be the way, otherwise could do something similar to how solo learn does their questions and have little game elements

Bit of a fine line to keep there interest tho

@neon merlin

[neon merlin]

yeah, max age is 14

6-14

[still hare]

Might be an easy way if you change it to multiple choice and just change variables so they can change small things on a game or something

[neon merlin]

Interesting but I don't think they'd know what they were looking at

[still hare]

Keeps it less tech but they still see something cool

[rapid merlin]

makes sense

[neon merlin]

This might be fun https://www.create-learn.us/blog/how-to-make-a-mario-game-on-scratch/

Have the game running and they can also see the code

[still hare]

Maybe even show them how to change a simple variable like have a speed variable/size/etc kids can have a lot of fun with modifying small things like that

[neon merlin]

yep good idea

[arctic cradle]

morning, beautiful people

[jaunty ether]

as a kid myself i approve

[arctic cradle]

I remember taking CS50 course at Harvard and looking at Scratch games.. some people made Minecraft/Terraria/3D games..

[jaunty ether]

Oh damn thats cool

[still hare]

Never touched scratch myself I started with c++ then moved on to c# and unity probably took the hardest route possible lol

[slender scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-scratch-itchy-gif-14073736

[jaunty ether]

Ive only touched python n still learning it lmao

[still hare]

All progress is progress, and Python is usuable for most thing from beginner to expert

[sick lance]

How old are they?

[jaunty ether]

Yea im gonna try and learn c# next

[rapid merlin]

I am awake again

[still hare]

If you can try to work out what your end job/goal is then get used to that stack otherwise might end up constantly jumping between different languages , it’s what I did you learn bits here and there but makes it a lot harder to stay good at the area without having to go back over things constantly

[jaunty ether]

Yea im not really sure exactly what i wanna get into yet i just know some form of cyber security is something i wanan do

[still hare]

Not saying you have to but if that’s the case I’d stick out python for a little bit and look into different career targets till you workout an end goal , again only saying it because I jumped between different areas a lot and it ends up being a lot more work

[narrow bone]

Show them Linux Basics it’s fun and they will feel empowered with that knowing how the visual side is working in the backend.
They will have a lot of fun with that. They are very curious so even just changing directories and opening a file to see a password is fun AF 😂

[neon merlin]

They teach scratch at primary school level now. Lucky kids

I learned how to make ppts and .docs in IT class when I was at school

[jaunty ether]

i kinda wanna get into reverse engeneering so might hosnestly try c++

[still hare]

Very lucky tbh, I started teaching myself originally wasn’t till like year 11,12 at school got to do a software class and they did Visual Basic but was a shit fight

[still hare]

I think you’ll find understanding asm,c++ and c is helpful but majority of RE will be tool based , some languages like c# will have better disassembly processes tho

[neon merlin]

For my end of year IT coursework we just had to make a microsoft access database. I made one for a prison.

[still hare]

Even then Python can still be helpful a lot of libraries there

[neon merlin]

It was kind of a shit project

[jaunty ether]

Yea i mor elearned python because people said it wasa basic language to learn that can be used at an expert level and can be used in almsotr allw ays

[neon merlin]

I assume microsoft access isn't used anymore since I never hear about it

[still hare]

Yeah mine was a Visual Basic game back then but the teacher used to play guitar all lesson and didn’t really care about actually teaching he kept getting warned for people failing

But now I’ve done a bachelors degree and midway into my masters

[stoic quarry]

Nice

Good luck

[still hare]

Python is good for anything where runtime speed isn’t critical and you don’t need to compile like desktop apps, the amount of time you save in development tho is insane

[neon merlin]

I have a degree in film tech from a time when cameras took magnetic tape cassettes.

So everything I learned is worthless

[jaunty ether]

Oh rip

[stoic quarry]

Woah

Ancient technology

[still hare]

That’s rough but would of atleast been interesting

If you wanted to ingest 5 hours worth of video footage it took 5 hours. Because you had to play it on a tape deck and, with that connected to the computer, hit record in the software

a painful time.

[stoic quarry]

Still worth learning. You have higher education in something

[neon merlin]

Oh and we learned how to make 90s ass websites in notepad with raw html in high school

Another not very useful thing

[still hare]

Tbh i did a lot of development and it management work so originally wanted more verifiable sources for qualifications mostly for aiming for government sectors but my masters is still in progress and picking up a lot of good cyber stuff from that

[still hare]

I atleast got access to dreamweaver for those back then 😂😂

Puts it together terribly but it’s quick to make something look good

[stoic quarry]

At least it's not WordPress premade sites

[still hare]

Wordpress is terrible, my old work paid for a site before I was doing their development stuff and there ideal of a site worth 10k was a half filled out work press template 🤦‍♂️

he can search for suid's with this

[neon merlin]

I can't even create the script as a new file on the target

touch: cannot touch 'linpeas.sh': Permission denied

this works but then the question just says "What stands out to you?"

nothing stands out to me

that linpeas.sh will tell you specifically what to look for

I know the answer is /bin/systemctl but it's useless to know the answer without knowing why

[sudden pond]

oh now i understand what is all this about

[neon merlin]

Or without knowing what I can do with this

[sudden pond]

does this stand out bcz it is part of systemd?

[neon merlin]

What an odd success message

and then the file is not there

I cd /tmp then wget

yeah

it works there

finally

[sudden pond]

and why this stands out bro?? have you figured it out?

[neon merlin]

I'm trying to search through the script output but I can't scroll up to the start

Hey everyone here , I Want a guide from u all.

I have HP-Victus 15 ryzen 7 and RTX 3050 GPU .

I installed Kali Linux on it 2 months ago I worked a little fine but there were many issues I had , my fan was not working , brightness bar not working , nvidia not supported, no GPU performance , and many more ...

But from last 15 days it started crashing too ,
Whenever I lot down my laptop screen and open after some time it shows a black screen and do not open , so I have to do force shutdown ..
But yesterday it even don't open with a force shutdown ...
It was crashed , so I installed windows again ,

But I don't want windows so I searched more and got to know about Garuda Linux which is for gaming so anyone please suggest can I use it like as in kali ,

And also suggest do it support nvidia drivers....

Please 🥺

[neon merlin]

I had similar issues with Kali installed as the base os on a laptop before learning this really isn't what it's for. It's for running in a VM on a more stable distro like Mint or Ubuntu. Kali is not supposed to be daily driven. Mint is really good for making that first step from windows to Linux.

[arctic cradle]

congratulations, I'm also on the way to 100 rooms, keep it up!

[neon merlin]

Everything on my laptop just worked with Mint. All the specific laptop things like suspending when closing the lid etc all just worked

[fair jungle]

Guys im working with metasploitable 2 and i want to install an IDS and configure some firewalls so if i attack it there would be an realistic operation going on, i tried installing snort im getting lots of errors especially when i upgrade it, im guessing we cant download anything from the machine

?

[ashen wedge]

whats your os

[fair jungle]

linux mint main machine, metasploit 2 though, is on debian

runlevel 2

no gui

[ashen wedge]

did you try installing it manually

[naive violet]

Snort isn't really designed to be installed on the machine you're attacking

It's designed to be on a seperate machine, able to see all the traffic
I'd recommend creating a new VM and enabling promiscious mode on it to allow Snort to capture all the traffic

[fair jungle]

I know but i wanted to do it just so i can see whats happening on the other side as well, more on a realistic level.

[naive violet]

Yes, but the way to do that is by creating another VM

[rapid merlin]

Thanks your for the help. However, it didnt worked. I dont know whats wrong

[lofty tide]

Hello everyone, do vouchers still work?

[naive violet]

Yes?

[lofty tide]

I'm planning to try buying a voucher instead

[fair jungle]

i will try that

[naive violet]

If you're less interested in the steup and more interested in the results, https://www.stamus-networks.com/selks this might be useful

[lofty tide]

Yeah I had an issue with the monthly payment (the mismatch error) ever since the subscription was denominated in dollars. Now, I thought why not buy a voucher, it is still denominated in quids, and it might go through.

[strange sky]

Are there challenge rooms on the Reverse Engineer topic?

[shut hawk]

Yes

[fair jungle]

I just wanna give it a more realistic feel to it, inreality a machine isnt 100% vulnerable

[naive violet]

If your account region is UK, you are billed in GBP otherwise dollars
Not sure if vouchers are different, they may be

[lofty tide]

What do you suggest? I have a ticket already open though, but will be probably be dealt with next week. No harm in buying a voucher instead right?

Worst is it'll get rejected

[naive violet]

Deploying snort or suricata won't reallllllllly do that, unless you deploy it as an IPS

[strange sky]

If there is, please suggest room names.

[naive violet]

Yeah might be worth a try, assuming there's no student discounts etc that make a regular sub cheaper

[fair jungle]

i guess ill just attack it first then think about a solution to this later

hi

Can you help me?

What was the original target of Stuxnet?

[jolly forge]

Iran's nuclear facility in Natanz

[dusty ice]

send to me error

[jolly forge]

if it's part of a room then the answer is in the literature

[dusty ice]

I searched a lot, but I don't know how to get an answer

[dusty ice]

Case Study: Stuxnet (Click to Read)

Stuxnet was the name given to a particularly nasty computer virus (allegedly developed by the governments of the United States and Israel) that was originally used to target the Iran nuclear programme in 2009. Due to its ability as a "worm" to self-replicate (i.e. clone itself across networks — including the internet), the virus escaped and became much more widespread than was intended. Multiple variants now also exist, making Stuxnet a particularly hard-hitting and notorious weapon. You can read more about the background of Stuxnet here.

What makes Stuxnet particularly interesting for this section is the original method of infection. The virus can clone itself across networks, but that doesn't help much when the target network is a nuclear weapons development facility with no access to the wider internet. The question became: how can you get a virus into a network that doesn't let anything in or out? The answer was simple: drop malicious USB devices in places where workers at companies that dealt with the facility would find them and hope that one of them plugged the device into a work computer. In this case, the gamble worked, with Stuxnet causing severe damage to the Iran nuclear programme and effectively destroying many of the nuclear centrifuges.

[dusty ice]

He tells me to study this case and I tried the answers in it and I got an error

[jolly forge]

The answer is literally there I can see it

Sickness hits me hard, if im injured or something its fine i go to school whatever, but if i get a cold im bed ridden for days haha

[viscid hill]

wtf is dat

[rapid merlin]

It’s a milky tumeric drink with a kick

[viscid hill]

milk and spice

nice

[rapid merlin]

It’s good for colds and flu because tumeric has anti inflammatory properties

[viscid hill]

oh okay

i thought it just tasted good

[rapid merlin]

I like the taste

[viscid hill]

idk man u do u

[rapid merlin]

But I only have it when I’m sick

[viscid hill]

of corse :D

[rapid merlin]

But it’s very good for you, it’s a drink that originated from India

I can’t really describe the flavour though

[ashen wedge]

not that many features

[sudden pond]

it is cheap tho

[sick lance]

Yeah, and some networks

[ashen wedge]

why do u even need more room time

[sudden pond]

we want to learn

@sick lance hey robocop is a fool

[ashen wedge]

never had that problem

[sick lance]

It's.. a bot?

[sudden pond]

just kidding

[mossy river]

It's a basic script that checks whether someone says a keyword and awards a reputation point 😄

[sick lance]

5 min cool down period too.

[sudden pond]

[sick lance]

Can't tag yourself, only one person is tagged

[mossy river]

We can detect it and we add you to an exclude list on the bot

[sudden pond]

good

[ashen wedge]

how do you even get the points ?

[mossy river]

It was a role awarded to all users who successfully completed our Throwback network before it was removed:)

[ashen wedge]

thanks @rapid merlin

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @plain grotto (current: #1132 - 3)

[mossy river]

Throwback was the first network room released on TryHackMe

[sudden pond]

hmm

[ashen wedge]

just trying it

[mossy river]

It was both a guided walkthrough and a blackbox style challenge for those who wanted to root the network.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=mQT38VR4boQ&t=3h20m15s

[sudden pond]

what is the benefit of that rep

[mossy river]

It was intended to be used to highlight helpful community members who would receive rewards on a monthly basis for being the top of the leaderboard but the idea was paused:)

[ashen wedge]

so its useless ?

[rapid merlin]

I want a cute little robot to keep on my desk

[half girder]

it gives you a few virtual inches 😉

[mossy river]

It still helps moderators see who is being awesome in the community, but yes 😄

u are really strange

i want another dog

[ashen wedge]

and i want a billion dollar

[sudden pond]

i already have 2 dogs but i want another

[mossy river]

It would have been a range of different rewards from Amazon vouchers to TryHackMe subscriptions to swag!

I don't understand the question

[crude stump]

Why do you guys remove rooms. Is the information outdated?

[mossy river]

Is there a specific room you have in mind?

Or just Throwback

[crude stump]

No just in general

[mossy river]

I work for TryHackMe 😅

[ashen wedge]

what do you do ?

[rapid merlin]

? This is general chat

I’m allowed to speak.

[warm mural]

I am Lawrence.

Good Morning 👍

[mossy river]

It depends.
We rarely remove rooms. For example with Throwback, we replaced it with a range of better content that was more up-to-date.

This is the same as the old nmap rooms or linux fundamentals rooms which were replaced with newer content:)

It is given to those who use the Discord server and need special permissions :)
Anyone with the "THM Staff" role is an employee.

[ashen wedge]

and he was asking a question

[sudden pond]

BYE!!

[rapid merlin]

And I replied

[crude stump]

Ah I see

[warm mural]

I'm new here. I don't know how to start. I hope everyone's help. To complete my ethical hacking journey.

[mossy river]

Have you signed up to https://tryhakcme.com/ ? :)

[warm mural]

I think I'm the only one who's totally blank here.

[mossy river]

What do you mean by totally blank?

[warm mural]

knowledge Bro

[warm mural]

I have already registered.

[mossy river]

Well you're in luck, TryHackMe requires no fundamental knowledge of cyber security:)

[warm mural]

🥰

[ashen wedge]

i don't think he knows anything

[rapid merlin]

I started with zero knowledge and here I am a year later

Still nothing

😂

[ashen wedge]

same

[rapid merlin]

No

[warm mural]

I have only completed the basics of Python language. Moreover, I have no knowledge about cyber security. But I believe I can, if everyone helps me.

[rapid merlin]

I don’t, I picked a side early

Because of my morals

[mossy river]

Cringe? 🤣

[warm mural]

👍

[rapid merlin]

🤷‍♀️

[mossy river]

How doesn't it? Ethics and morals are a big part of cyber security and it's surrounding choices.

[ashen wedge]

actually that's why they made two teams

[rapid merlin]

It’s apparently so cringe to be a good person now days

[wooden totem]

I got such a bad habit of instead of saving videos to Watch Later list or saving links to browser, I just duplicate the tab and have a lot of tabs open "for later". Every day when I open my browsers (I do this on multiple browsers with multiple websites) I just have around 20-30 tabs in the background lol

[ashen wedge]

blue team dosen't mean good person

[rapid merlin]

I chose blue team because I wanted “Defend” people who needed it

[wooden totem]

the bad people tend to be the loudest on the internet

[rapid merlin]

They are fr

[ashen wedge]

i'll have to agree with him, that's actually cringe

[mossy river]

How? 🤔

[warm mural]

Thank you so much

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @plain grotto (current: #786 - 5)

[ashen wedge]

"defend people who need it"

[mossy river]

Yes, that is pretty much blue team.

For example, SOC:
https://www.opentext.com/what-is/security-operations-center#:~:text=A security operations center%2C or,analyzing%2C and investigating cyber threats.

[ashen wedge]

i know what it means

[rapid merlin]

Well I think our humour might be a little bit different because you lot are obviously a lot younger than I am

[warm mural]

Don't mind friends, what is the blue team

[cyan parcel]

Maybe they meant that people aren't organisations or entities

[mossy river]

You can learn all about it here -> https://tryhackme.com/r/room/defensivesecurityintro

[wooden totem]

You would prolly leave this server if you saw how much of that was in here at some point 💀 💀 🙏 😭 💯 💯 (forgot the emojis)

excuse me sir, its actually betta, like with double T, like you know the betta the betta the fish the betta fish you know the fish its named betta fish or something idk i think its officially more of a nickname but still is very recognizable as a fish name like betta you know. If you forgot, it's B - E - T - T - A, its with double Ts because with single T its not a fish its like a term for early access idk actually I gotta google that I forgot the defeinition I just know its like a state but its not a fish its just a single t thats different, double T for fish man

hi @outer rivet dmed me without asking

can someone ban him?

[outer rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-gif-8204160254287798713

[jolly forge]

so all red teamers are bad people?

https://tenor.com/view/skid-can't-code-skidder-steals-code-code-stealer-gif-3656702310176110883

[rapid merlin]

That’s not what I meant

[outer rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/be-npc-or-die-bnod-shrek-free-gif-9979861308662464866

@tired moth

What bro upto

[crude stump]

Red teamers are people that simulate intrusions on an organization. They usually have permission to do this

[sick lance]

Show me proof.

[eternal timber]

Yes we are

[sick lance]

Members only get banned for unsolicited DM's if they're scams.

[sick lance]

No?

[jolly forge]

I ask because I don't understand the logic of "I join the blue team because I am a good person who want to help people". Thats atleast what I got out of your comments.

[slow cloud]

i will

[rapid merlin]

I clearly explained what I meant when I explained why I joined blue team

[jolly forge]

You said it alligns with your morals, correct?

[outer rivet]

Well you joined because you like blue team stuff

[rapid merlin]

Yes because of “defence”

[crude stump]

Doesn’t make sense

[rapid merlin]

Which is the whole logic behind being a blue teamer

[crude stump]

Pentesters test stuff so a bad guy can’t do it before it’s patched

Usually pentesters etc work hand to hand with defense

[jolly forge]

I am just going to drop this convo. I am just trying to show the flaw in her argument. Nothing personal.

[mossy river]

Why though? 🤔

If it's someone's personal morals, leave them be.

[rapid merlin]

Feels personal since every single
Person has been on my case today

[sick lance]

Especially if they don't align with yours.

[naive violet]

Generally, security work makes the world a better place. Some exceptions. Not many.

[crude stump]

Ig it’s too hard to understand

[rapid merlin]

Don’t call me sis

I don’t want you to address, I don’t want you to talk me

[hardy mango]

jeeez relax

[crude stump]

Anyways

Yall ever wonder

I mean

It’s not your fault people took it differently

It’s best to respect others opinions

[outer rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/looking-in-cg-general-looking-in-general-cg-gif-5922962811926030637

[crude stump]

Just think

Anything

Just wonder about wondering

[slow cloud]

blocking someone is an option for a reason

[rapid merlin]

I have blocked them all

[slow cloud]

if u dont wanna interact with them then that is often the best solution

[crude stump]

Very true

Thing is discord has to show the messages that are blocked

Which is stupid

[slow cloud]

i thought it didnt show the message and only like "1 blocked message"

[crude stump]

That’s what I ment

It’s tempting

[mossy river]

You can click to reveal the message

[crude stump]

Like why even tell you the message is blocked

Just don’t show you it

[mossy river]

You'll still see they're there when someone is in chat having a conversation with 'themself'.

[crude stump]

Lol

[wraith fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/wth-steven-he-what-the-hell-gif-26581944

[jolly forge]

Respecting everyone's right to express opinions is different from respecting everyone opinions. I disagree with the latter. People's opinions can be wrong.

[crude stump]

It’s a opinion for a reason

Now if they said it’s a fact that’s different

[mossy river]

An opinion can't be wrong, it's an opinion

[peak whale]

Would love to have this as a sticker!

[sick lance]

Different opinions to you != Wrong

[crude stump]

This

[jolly forge]

so what they are not allowed to be scrutinized?

[crude stump]

They can say the same about you then

[jolly forge]

yes they can

[crude stump]

You can be scrutinized too

[jolly forge]

thats the point

[crude stump]

Does it solve anything?

Does it change opinions?

No

[mossy river]

In an appropriate time and place yes, but you can't tell me that lettuce sucks if I love lettuce.

[crude stump]

So what’s the point?

[mossy river]

It is against the server rules

Please keep all communication in English. This also means no encrypted posting.

[crude stump]

If I say I don’t like broccoli scrutinizing won’t make me like broccoli again

(I like broccoli)

Raw broccoli on the other hand eh the hard little ball things on that stalk of it gets annoying

[rapid merlin]

The thing is that’s not even what I meant

[eager marsh]

The same can be said of those who red team

Responsibly at least

I’m not sure if morality plays a portion of which hat you put on.
